Janelia researchers have uncovered a novel way that two of the structures inside cells—the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and ...

The average human cell contains roughly 10,000 different proteins. Existing as several to millions of copies in each cell, proteins mediate all manner of tasks, including chemical transformations, ...

When we talk about memories in biology, we tend to focus on the brain and the storage of information in neurons. But there are lots of other memories that persist within our cells. Cells remember ...

Researchers discover how proteins behave inside cells using AI, which has the potential to guide drug design. Scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed an atlas of proteins describing ...

Researchers are queuing up to try a powerful microscopy technique that can simultaneously sequence an individual cell’s DNA and pinpoint the location of its proteins with high resolution — all without ...

Research led by the University of Auckland has cast light on the evolutionary origins of one of nature's first motors, which ...

New antivirals and vaccines could follow the discovery by Australian researchers of strategies used by viruses to control our ...

Melina Schuh has been fascinated with ovarian germ cells, or oocytes, since she began her graduate studies in 2004. “[I] realized that only little was known about these important cells that are ...

A research team from the University of Osaka, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has uncovered ...

A study uncovers intricate details about protein function at the molecular level. The discovery could transform disease diagnostics and treatment. Proteins play a central role in virtually every ...

Around 25 million Americans have a rare genetic disease, and many of them struggle with not only a lack of effective ...

Many winners of the annual Lasker Awards have gone on to win a Nobel Prize in medicine or other fields. Lucy Shapiro of Stanford University was honored for her 55-year career investigating how ...
